This is a story about Beethoven’s confrontation with our human condition. It describes his sadness, his struggles, and his triumph, and then he speaks in whispers to reassure us, to comfort us, to affirm our faith in life. This young violinist has delved deep into Beethoven’s soul and comes up with a most sympathetic view of life. He sings for Beethoven’s soul. He and the conductor miraculously merged with Beethoven, in the spiritual sense. I want to thank the conductor for his sensitive and sympathetic accompaniment. And the tempo is just right for our purpose. (Heifetz’s tempo was too fast to reveal Beethoven’s soul). This is a performance to cherish for a life time.

First Movement -
The solo violin enters with a few notes that signal the struggle to come, then it descends to the bottom, but climbs back up to the top and resolves itself in optimistic relief. What an entrance! Bravo Beethoven!
The Cadenza. Kreisler’s cadenza is just terrific. It shows Beethoven’s struggle with the challenges of our human condition, and this struggle leaves him in agony, tearing his soul apart, as shown where the major themes are being distorted and broken down, and the violinist is trying to find all the pieces and put them back together. After a frantic search over the terrains, he finally finds them and restores them, and in the process, restoring Beethoven’s soul and Beethoven’s faith in life. When he comes back from the heroic struggle in the cadenza, 23:30, he comes back, with the orchestra gently, almost tiptoeing, escorting him back, and he brings back Beethoven’s message by restating the main theme with tenderness and sincerity. In the last few phrases, 24:25, Beethoven comforts us and reassures us again. This is a very sensitive soul, searching out Beethoven’s own soul.

Second Movement - with horns sounding a bit mournful, the solo finds himself in a lonely journey, hesitating, searching. Then the orchestra becomes warmer and reassuring, encouraging him to move forward, and the solo, feeling the warmth, the reassurance, and encouragement, gains confidence and seems to glimpse hope beyond his surroundings. He finds it - it’s Beethoven’s message of faith in life, in an affirming, reassuring voice. 29:40 all the way to the end of the movement. The violinist is singing with sincerity, without exaggeration, without being overly sentimental, straight from the heart. God, it’s so good!

Third Movement - after the affirmation in the second movement, Beethoven is liberated, and from here on, he is dancing all the way to the end. He has found his faith in life. The theme is repeated and repeated, again and again, just to affirm this faith for us.

The cadenza left me with a lump in my throat and I had to wipe a tear from my eye. I’m at a loss for the emotional effect his playing had on me. This will inspire many violinists to dedicate themselves to their goals and dreams.

Diese Interpretation ist für mich die Schönste, die ich je hörte. Vor 60 Jahren durfte ich in Bern eine Aufführung mit Yehudi Menuhin miterleben, das war bisher für mich das Wunderbarste. Daniel Lozakovich mit den Münchner Philharmoniker spielt Beethovens Violinkonzert aber mindestens ebenbürtig.

Playing Beethoven vc like this at his age is a seldom miracle. A true star has born.

[richardmorse]

When I first heard this I was glued to the iPad to continue it to the end. I think it’s the most sensitive and most musical version I’ve heard.

Dieser junge Mann verfügt über eine große Gestaltungsfähigkeit, die einen häufig staunen läßt, selbst wenn man das Stück Note für Note auswendig kennt und schon hunderte mal gehört hat.

[thethikboy]

Sensitive to the MUSIC - more than technically capable without showing off. In his hands the instrument sings like a prima donna. A selfless surrender to Beethoven's intent. The word beautiful is inadequate.

[arturtarnowski]

Wow, such a honesty. No acting or pretending. I love it

[LatynaH]

Hermoso. Hace tiempo no escuchaba un violinista joven con esa fuerza de interpretación. Digno de los grandes concertistas del siglo XX. Bravo !!!

[leonid]

[maritamcdonough]

This is simply exquisite, Daniel!! It grips my soul and won't let go. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[hwasungchoi]

The music flows like a river. So natural and easy to listen to. It’s amazing how one can master those technique and musicality at that young age. I am so grateful for musicians like D.L. They are the ones who contribute to the continuity and advancement of classical music.I only wish him good health. DL is a world treasure to be cherished.

[daffyduck]

This Beethoven concerto is one of the most soulful concertos, free from flashy ornaments and bravura.

[dangervich]

A poetic spirit. The conductor let it shine through.

[qusnixs]

Все чувства, все краски, все, что вложил Бетховен в эту гениальную музыку, ты, , Даниэль пережил и подарил нам !Не могу

[yjhong]

His playing is thoughtful, elegant, and utterly beautiful...

[RobertoGonzalez-jzym]
